More artists are using their music and voice to bring awareness of many global issues to public attention and Hanson, with their new album, is doing just that.
"The Great Divide" is their new song inspired by their trip to Africa that not only sends an excellent message, but aides in an important cause. All the proceeds from purchases of this song and the Great Divide T-shirt go to HIVSA. HIVSA is an organization that is working on reducing the transfer of AIDS/HIV from the mother to the child.
Purchase the song/t-shirt.
Here's the video for The Great Divide:
"The earth is shaking under siege
Every breath will meet it's fate
Still hunger for a moment of freedom
Even though the hour's late"
"I find hope and it gives me rest
I find hope in your beating chest
I find hope in the eyes don't see
I find hope in your hate for me"

Insane People, Insane World
For those of you who have not seen The U.S. vs. John Lennon, I highly recommend it. In fact my first post along with a series of following ones are going to be in refernece to this documentary. John Lennon was not simply a Beatle, but he evolved into a revolutionary artist and humanitarian who shook up politics in the United States by spreading the message of love.
Although the quote below was in reference to the politics of the Vietnam era, I feel it still can be applied to the current era of the Bush Admnistration and all this "War on Terrorism":
"Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. If anybody can put on paper what our government and the American government, etc, what they are actually trying to do and what they think they're doing, I'd be very pleased to know what they actually think they're doing. I think they're all insane but I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that, that's what's insane about it." -John Lennon
What are the objectives of America now? Has President Bush's War on Terrorism objectives stayed consistent with the Administrations actions? As citizens of this country and this world we must keep our government in check and hold it, and it's members accountable for all actions great or small.
